Default Looking to replace stock steelies with 15" need some he

Im going to be replacing my stock steel and I decided to stay with 15" because of the ride, also price. I have an indigo ink blue 2006 XA and I am trying to find some rims for it. I came across this site http://www.wheelmax.com and it has loads of 15" rims. Quite a few I think will look really nice. The NEX-O PX-5 in Gunmetal, and NEX-O GS-5 in hyper light look pretty sweet. I also will stick with the stock tires until they wear out. Car only has 1500 miles on it. Also, when i do change sizes I would like a wider tire, i read on here that 205/55/15's is ideal. Do i also need to worry about offsets? Most of what i see on the rims are 40 offset. I also dont know anythign about these rims and whether there even good or not but any suggeestions would be great.

Thanks
Mike

Yes, you need to worry about offset, but only if the offset is greater than 40. A 205/55/15 will fit, and will keep the speedomoeter accurate.

While I have not ordered from Wheelmax, I have heard some stories about poor customer service, so I'd at least take that for what it's worth.

I've dealt with Tire Rack and Discount Tire Direct, and have had favorable experiences with both.

Thanks, then in that case these look pretty nice, and are a good price also.

Indeed.

I have a set of MB Competition wheels (actually A-Tech Finalspeeds, just have an MB centercap). They are great. I'll actually be selling them as soon as I take the tires off.

I also have a set of MB wheels from Discount... nice, no complaints, and the price was right at the local service center.

You can save yourself $100 or so by picking one of the other MB styles, but that's up to you... Search their site for wheels by size to see all of what's available... go to one of their stores if you have one local... they've been known to wheel and deal a little to make the sale...
